I dont know if i should do this but its so i can get more feed back, i hav eit in the other thread on my wheels i hav espray painted.
so not happy, i cleaned back some ally wheels cleaned with acetone so nice and clean and dry, then i etch primed them and sprayed them with a so called chrome silver paint, which didnt turn out chrome but a dull silver if not chrome, and thats if that. Now i was happy to have them that colour but then i noticed the paint wasnt exactly setting, even after 48hrs, you can wipe, not rub, your finger over the wheel and your finger becomes silver with the paint coming off, i though it was just a surface dust from the paint but i wiped all the wheel over with tissue and it still comes off.
All i could think of was to give the wheel a coat of lacquer to seal it, BUT now it has gone to a shiny bloody grey colour, as bad as when i started them.
Does anybody now why that is? the non setting of the silver and then the change to a grey colour with lacquer?
